Warriors, I have been young and I have been old, yet I have never seen any warrior who is completely sold out to Creator Yahweh forsaken. Neither are their offspring forsaken or begging for food. From the rising of the sun in the east and as it marks its path across the heavens, even when it falls below the far mountain and sinks into darkness these sold out warriors are merciful and deal graciously with everyone. They lend all good things and their offspring are blessed.

Trust in Creator Yahweh! Lean on him. Rely on him. Find your confidence in him. This is the way you and your offspring will dwell in the land and feed on his faithfulness. Delight yourself in him and he will grant the secret petitions of your heart.

It is better to have little and stand uncompromisingly in your faith in Creator Yahweh than it is to have a great many possessions and do wrong. Our Great Chief and Captain will break the arms of the wicked while he upholds those who consistently look to him for their strength. Those warriors who walk this way in Beauty shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

Such people who are blessed of Creator Yahweh shall inherit the earth, but they that are cursed of him and will be cut off. The only ones who are cursed of him are those who have made a decision to walk outside his path of beauty. All of us used to walk in this way of darkness, but then we gave our lives over to our Great Chief and Captain. The steps of a good warrior are directed and established by Creator Yahweh because such a warrior delights in their Great Chief and Captain!

Warriors, as you continue walking the Beauty Way each day, as the sun rises over the hill, commit your way to Creator Yahweh. He will make your right standing with him shine like the noonday sun! Others will see and know that you belong to your Great Chief and Captain.

It is a good thing to find a place of rest for your weary soul and to be still and rest in Creator Yahweh. Lean your whole weight into him.

In this way you will be able to cease from anger and forsake wrath. Do not allow yourself to fall into a pit of worry, because anger, bitterness and worry will only lead you to the dark side where those who do evil dwell. Those evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait and hope and look for Creator Yahweh will one day inherit the earth.

Warriors, do you realize how valuable and precious is the love of our Great Chief and Captain? His love is dependable and steadfast and never wavering. The children of men take refuge beneath the shadow of his wings knowing he will provide every good thing for them. For even in sorrow and affliction, his love remains true. And even in the deepest pit he fills us with great hope for tomorrow.

Creator Yahweh is the fountain of life and it is in his light that we truly see light. This light is where hope is birthed. His loving-kindness covers all who know him, and his righteousness flows over the upright in heart. Don’t worry about those who do evil. They will one day fall and lie prostrate. They will be thrust down by the hand of Creator Yahweh and will never rise again. But you, warriors, will rise to sing the glory of our Great Chief and Captain. How can we do less than praise him now in the beauty of our dance?

Warriors, there is a time to fight! And there is a time to wait quietly for the salvation of our Great Chief and Captain. For no one is cast off by Creator Yahweh forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.

Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to Creator Yahweh. Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to Creator in heaven, and say, “We have sinned and rebelled.” Because of the blood of Jesus Yeshua he will forgive us. He will come near when we call upon him.
